"Air Bending"
Coran hadn't told any of the Paladins about the powers he had discovered he possessed. He had the ability to control and manipulate air. He had developed the powers in his youth and trained for many deca-phoebes in order to control them and learn what he could do with them. Throughout the years, he learned the control that only through patience and practice could he achieve.
Even though he was an adult, he could be silly and dramatic as well as helpful. When he had gotten dressed in his clothes in order to pilot the Red Lion when Keith and Allura had left, thinking Zarkon was tracking them through them, he made wind blow so his cape would flap when he struck his (in his opinion) dramatic pose.
His latest instance of being helpful involved Pidge. The Green Paladin was the shortest one of the latest group of Paladins, but she was also the one who was doing either repairs or upgrades. Sometimes she needed help reaching something, and Coran was more than happy to help. This time he used his powers to lift the Green Paladin so she could reach the vent she needed to use. She didn't even bat an eye when she was lifted up to the grate. She threw a "thanks" over her shoulder before crawling into the vent.
Coran was a little confused. Why wouldn't Pidge question how she got up to the vent because he knew she would know that no one had lifted her up there with their hands?
He was so lost in thought that he almost ran into Keith, who was fresh from a shower. His Galran features had finally come in, and he was having trouble drying his fur. Coran saw another chance to use his powers.

Keith was softly whining as he was trying to dry his fur with a towel. Maybe he should learn about the grooming habits of the Galra.
"Need some help, my boy?"
Keith peeked out from under his towel and saw Coran standing there. "Yeah. I could."
"Well, I can help. Remove the towel." Coran waited until Keith did so. Then, he created a breeze to blow dry Keith's fur. However, it not only dried the purple fur, but it also caused it to frizz. Seeing that made Coran stifle a chuckle. "Ah, well, that's a small side effect, my boy. A gentle brushing should take care of that."
